Adams Receives
Legislator of the Year Award
COLUMBUS – State Representative Richard Adams (R-Troy) recently was
awarded the “Legislator of the Year Award” by the Ohio Mortgage Bankers
Association (OMBA). The award is presented to a member of the Ohio
Legislature who has gone above and beyond in ensuring legislation is
well thought out and workable for all involved in the mortgage banking
field.
Representative Adams is the Chairman of the House Financial
Institutions, Housing and Urban Development Committee. In addition to
his service as a state representative, he is a member of the Unity
National Bank Board of Directors. He oversaw the passage of House Bill
223, priority legislation for the OMBA, which provides a fast track to
foreclosure for vacant, abandoned, and blighted properties, through his
committee.
“Chairman Adams’ door is always open. He has an incredible grasp of
what is best for the consumer and the industry alike,” said OMBA
Executive Director, Marianne Collins. “This is the first year the OMBA
has presented this award to a legislator, and I can’t think of anyone
more deserving of this honor that Chairman Adams.”
OMBA President Susan Stevenson added, “Chairman Adams has been a
shining example of a hard working, honest and compassionate member of
the legislature. The residents of Ohio District 80, and the entire
state of Ohio, are extremely fortunate to have Richard Adams in the
Ohio Legislature.”
“I appreciate this recognition from the Ohio Mortgage Bankers
Association. I have focused on legislation, which benefits consumers
and represents good business practices for the banking industry,”
Representative Adams stated.
Representative Adams served two terms as a Miami County Commissioner.
He has a long history as an educator serving as the high school
agriculture instructor for Northwestern High School, Vice President of
Clark State Community College, and founding superintendent of the
Upper Valley Joint Vocational School District.
